Scout tips
- Bedding varies between units so be sure to let Scout know what you're looking for and we can find the best fit!
- Ski rentals are available on the property, right at the ski valet area.
- A lot of condos don’t always have views – these feel more like urban condos.
- The Slopeside Residences offer prime mountainside location & the best mountain views
SCOUT REVIEW
The Auberge residences at Element 52 have been wonderfully designed to reflect the mining history of the Telluride. Expect to see plenty of metal, corrugated iron, wood and stone – finishing with a cute funicular lift that makes you feel like you’re heading into a mineshaft. It’s via the funicular that guests are given access to the slopes.
The name ‘Element 52’ is also a nod to the town’s history, as the element Tellurium is number 52 on the periodic table. (Although, truth be told, Tellurium was never actually mined in this particular area. However, the town has nonetheless become associated with this metal).
Now that our history lesson is over, let’s talk about the condos! These have a distinctly contemporary urban feel to them, with polished concrete, wood and marble finishes. If you wanted to host a dinner party during your stay these condos would be perfect, as they come complete with spacious dining areas, comfortable sofas, gas fireplaces and Sonos in-room music systems. Plus the kitchens are filled with high-end appliances big enough to make a city-dweller jealous.
The luxury extends through to the big bedrooms and sublime bathrooms (the master bathrooms also feature steam showers). And thanks to the ski valets, you won’t need to struggle with your ski gear in the mornings and evenings. The hot chocolate you’ll receive at the end of the day is a particularly nice touch – providing a sweet treat for kids and adults alike. Make sure you take time to check out the on-site spa – all guests have access to the facilities, including the steam rooms.
For those needing to access the Mountain Village, the free gondola is only steps away, whisking you up to ski school and further restaurants and après bars.
The Slopeside Residences offer premium slopeside access and are those located closest to the funicular. They also boast slightly better mountain view than the Riverside Residences.
Auberge Residences at Element 52 are the perfect Telluride lodging option for those seeking luxurious self-contained condos, with both a downtown and slopeside location (a rarity in Telluride!).

About Telluride
Telluride is a spectacular resort in the heart of Colorado’s San Juan mountains. Getting there is half the fun – the scenic drive from Gunnison or Durango is topped off with an even more picturesque main street. Rarely are ski resorts as pretty as they are challenging, with a nightlife as exciting as it is laid-back, and with accommodation that ranges from ultimate luxury to great budget hotels. Telluride is the complete package and Scout adores it.
